top handles on ebay

As that saw was made and sold before said H.S.E. agreement, it must be unaffected by any later legislation or code of practice.

 

Bit like seatbelts in my LandRover, did not exist when it was made so not needed now.

Your land rover was made before 20 MPH limits but you will still get a fine and points

So you want regulation on bigger saws now?

Speed limits are law, H.S.E agreements or ideals are a little less enforceable and well defined it would seem.

Sometimes I really despair of this country. Anybody can buy a rear handled saw and use it however they wish. Even if they have a criminal record and yet if the rear handle is slightly further forward its strictly regulated. Idiocy.

But the time like thing still stands and the HSE will prosecute if you come unstuck with a top handle saw on the floor.

May be repeating another post but "what about the case where a lad/company feeding a chipper was prosecuted under HSE regs for using a top handled saw for cutting awkward shaped branches etc,? although not in posession of the full facts-maybe someone can clarify this case and explain where the company/individual when wrong ??

That would be using a top handled saw on the ground

Yes-but that surely is not "an offence" is it ?
